Always choose Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan when I travel, filed claim only once and was fully reimbursed without a hassle

I am the type never to buy travel insurance. However, as this trip was more on the expensive side, i decided to insure it as i had elderly in laws coming along. I went with Nationwide as they are a big reputable insurance company and covered what i would need.
I am so glad i did buy insurance as one of my in laws suffered a stroke prior to the trip and had to make a claim. I tried calling and did get a hold of a representative who told me to file my claim online or mailing it in. I did my claim via the online portal. Uploaded what documents they needed and claimed was processed. Be forewarned though is communication is extremely scant. All you will receive is acknowledgement that your claim was received. A few weeks later i got checks for the amount i was claiming. Overall, satisfied but communication is extremely lacking. Document everything!!!

The plan is affordable while we travel overseas. However, we don't have claim experience, so still don't know it is a good plan or not. Hope we never need to claim anything that would be good for us and for the business.

Nationwide is not on your side. I booked multiple trips and purchased multiple insurance plans with Nationwide. They failed every time. They acted poorly right out of the gate - starting with not returning calls to not paying a very small claim. I worked hard to minimize any losses even though I had insurance (or so I thought). My insurance cost $218 and my claim was a mere $283. I even emailed the CEO and never heard back. Apparently their poor way of treating people starts at the top. I was shocked at how devious and cheap they were. I have used other companies that charged more but settled claims quickly, fairly and honestly. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. I do like InsureMyTrip - they did try to act on my behalf.

Fortunately all went well and we did not need to file a claim. However it provided peace of mind and I would not travel abroad without travel insurance

We are sorry to hear that you were unable to travel. Upon learning that your claim was deemed unpayable, we reached out to you about Nationwide making an exception to cancel the policy for a refund of premium. Nationwide needs additional information in order to determine if you meet the guidelines for a successful exception. Please contact us at 800-487-4722 for further information.
